ToonMariner Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 yep - you need to the SMTP yalue in your php.ini file. This will just be the smtp server of your isp at home.so in your php.ini file find this lineSMTP = localhostand change local host to what ever you need.mine is SMTP = smtp.blueyonder.co.uk Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32955-sending-emails-from-localhost/#findComment-153469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accurax Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Ive set the SMTP to exactly what BT say it should be set to.... but im still getting nowhere...... it feels like theres more to this than just changing a line in the php.ini ... am i correct?
